A year after her Olympic coronation in London, Lucie Décosse will play the World Championships in Rio (August 26 to September 1). The Guyanese plays her last competition. The Caribbean has decided to permanently withdraw from the mats after the World Championships. The triple world champion (2005, 2010 and 2011) wants to finish off. The Ultramarine wants to close her career on a single fourth and last world title.

“Even if the preparation was special, I go for the title, said reporters of the Olympic champion and double world champion under70 kg. Today, I think I still have the level to be world champion. Between London and Rio, it has not been ten years now and I I have lost all my judo. Girls will be highly motivated, but I think I have the level to go through. “
“I had a problem with the neck, it was a bit long to regain mobility and have no more pain. I hope to take a little bit of judo this week, but I’ll wait to be in Brazil to intensify. There I have no pain, but I prefer to take it easy. ”
“Psychologically, I struggled to locate myself over the last week, I panicked, and I’m not used to that. But knowing that this is my last World championship, I want to get deep inside to get out and be medalist. If I do not, it will be very hard. “

“It motivates me even more to tell myself that it may remain five fights in my life, it gives me the motivation for me to say ‘give everything’ to every fight, because in the evening of August 30, it will be over, my life will change completely. “
